P.S. – Also in Haiti-related news, I’ve heard the controversial comments televangelist Pat Robertson made on his program yesterday, saying the earthquake was a response to some kind of pact the Haitians made with the devil.

A lot of religion bloggers out there are writing about it, but I don’t even get what he’s saying. Like I mentioned in a previous post, the population in Haiti was and is overwhelmingly Catholic and sadly impoverished. They weren’t people who “turned away from God” or lived in some state of heathendom– it’s “Haiti,” not “Hades.”

Though Pat Robertson and I share a hometown (Virginia Beach, Va.) and alma mater (Washington and Lee University), the commonalities end there.
